1956 Rolex Turn-O-Graph Datejust 6309 Rose Gold
Fancy utilitarianism.
$23,450
OVERVIEW
Ask someone to picture a Rolex Datejust in their minds and it’s likely they’ll imagine a watch designed with quiet simplicity: Steel with a fluted or smooth bezel, silver dial, jubilee or oyster bracelet, and of course a cyclops over the date. Early iterations of the Datejust however were not as sterile or demure in essence, they were more ornate in design and made mostly with gold. The Rolex Turn-O-Graph Datejust 6309 is one such example and exists in stark contrast to what the Datejust has evolved to today.
This particular 6309 is as aesthetically unique as it gets with its red print, roulette date wheel, paper textured dial, and functional bezel all in a very rare 18k rose gold case. Even more rare is the condition it’s in with barely any patina or wear on the dial as well as the ultra sharp bezel. This is the ultimate watch for someone looking for a classic dressy gold timepiece with as much functionality and sportiness as a vintage tool watch.
